How much do I pay for orders I get through the marketplace?

The standard commission rate for reorders orders from the Faire marketplace is 15%.

When a customer first discovers you on Faire’s marketplace, we charge brands outside of North America a one-time referral fee of 10%, on top of the standard 15% commission rate. This means that the opening order rate of 25% only applies to the first order from a new customer—future reorders will be at the 15% rate.

An order is considered a reorder if it is placed at least 24 hours after the first order. If a second order is placed by a new customer within 24 hours of the first order, the 25% commission will apply to both orders.

Please note that the commission rate applied to any replacement order will be the same commission rate applied to the original order.


What’s included in the commission fee?

Commission from marketplace orders helps us offer you the following services and benefits, at no additional cost:

  • Retailer verification: When a new retailer buys from you, we verify their reseller information and payment details to ensure they meet your selling standards.
  • Return logistics: We cover costs and logistics associated with the handling and shipping of returned inventory, to learn more visit How does Faire handle returns?
  • Payment: We offer guaranteed* on-time payments, so you’ll never be responsible for payment defaults.
  • Flexible payment terms: We offer eligible retailers the option to buy now, pay 60 days later—but you have the option to be paid sooner based on your selected payout speed.
  • Business and marketing tools: Our platform offers a suite of tools to help you grow and manage your wholesale business—like robust analytics, inventory tracking, and marketing tools.

*Please note that while Faire works to ensure brands are paid on time, a payout to a brand may not be completed for various reasons, including without limitation, a brand’s violation of its obligations under our Terms of Service, in the event of fraud, or if ordered products are missing or damaged.


How is my payout calculated?

Your payout for an order on Faire is calculated using the following formula:

Payout amount = (order subtotal) + (shipping reimbursement) - (commission) - (payout fee)

  • Order subtotal: (cumulative wholesale cost of the items in your order, minus any brand-funded promotions)
  • Shipping reimbursement: The cost of shipping (only applies when the order is fulfilled on your own, not using Ship with Faire)
  • Commission: Order subtotal x commission rate for given order type
  • Payout fee: (order subtotal + shipping reimbursement) x 3%, only if applicable

You can see the full calculation breakdown of your order under your Orders tab by clicking on the orders detail page. Scroll down to the You got paid! section and select View Payout Summary There you find the full breakdown and calculation of your order payout.


What are my payout options?

Even though eligible retailers can buy now, and pay 60 days later on Faire, your payout speed is not tied to their timing. You have the flexibility to choose if you would like to be paid the day after the shipment is in transit or 30 days after. Please be aware that next day payments incur a 3% processing fee.

We offer two payout speeds:

  • ACH Next Day - initiates the transfer of funds to your account the day after an order ships. For Next Day payouts, a 3% payout fee is applied to both the order and shipping costs.
  • ACH Net 30 - initiates the transfer of funds 30 days after an order ships. There are currently no fees with ACH Net 30.

When setting up your account, you will provide bank account information in your account. Funds appear in your account within 1-2 business days of the payment being processed. If you adjust your payout speed, the updated selection will apply to any order payout that has not yet been initiated.


How do I get paid out?

Depending on where you’re located, you may be paid via Adyen, or may be required to have a US based bank account.

If you’re based in Europe, please visit How do I set up payouts to a European bank account? to determine if Adyen is available in your country. If you’re based in Australia, please visit How do I set up payouts to an Australian bank account?


How do I set up payouts if I’m located outside of Faire’s available countries?

If you’re a brand located in a country outside of our available locations you’ll need to provide a US based bank account and will be paid in USD via an ACH deposit.

You may use the provider of your choosing to obtain a US based routing and account number. We recommend using OFX to get a US routing and account number. If you are not interested in setting up an account with OFX, you may also look into other similar services or set up a US-based bank account if you have a US entity.

Once you have a US routing number, you will need to add the following information to your payout tab:

  • Account holder name
  • Routing number
  • Account number
